Paul Chunky Yes its fine for you being male and with a very common surname, that's great but not all are as lucky hey?. I also think it's different for female members of this site and a lot of the fun threads people get carried away and say a lot they may regret if they only thought of how many could see it all.

All I'm thinking about is that, if I wanted, I could quickly change my name to yours, slip in a comment, and change back to my own name, but if my real name was also displayed WITH my membership number at the bottom, it would be silly for me to do so. Hopefully the mischief-makers would think likewise. |

Mike Don't apologise many times I have said and I have been ignored, find that very upsetting, I worry about others given so much info out there and yet when they are warned they ignore the warnings. Mike for every one that says they watched there are thousands who would never say that. It was ages before I added stuff to the general board, I was only on tips and records, but I read a lot of stuff on the general board without anyone being any wiser. Non Members, Ex. Members, Booted Members, Never Members are watching these boards ALL the time. Not such a big advantage in paying a sub for your money you can post. There is no other site that would allow it. Thank you again Mike Pat x |

I personally have no objection to everyone knowing I live at No 10 Buckingham Palace, 4th window on the left. But seriously, I never reveal anything too much. People only need to know I live in Hampshire and an on-line telephone directory will give a good clue to my whereabouts, but I don't talk about my banking arrangements, or give my telephone number or email address unless I do it in reply to someone with whom I am prepared to converse in private. Of course GR memberas are always welcome for a cuppa and a chat. Lol Jim P.S. Off to bed now. Catch you all tomorrow. XX J |

If we all feel strongly about non paying members maybe we should contact the abuse manager try and get something done about it? |

Grampa Jim Thought it was Clarence House LOL I have seen people adding threads here looking for people and they have put telephone numbers and email addresses, they were probably newbies but they didn't read the warnings. Pat x Sorry Spud one or two voices in the wilderness is not enough, Genes use the board thingys as an advert for people to register and will not change to quickly unless they are pressured by the FULL members to do so.

Ronald I dont just spout here I have suggested many times to GR. I will do it again and again like other suggestions I have, but one two or maybe ten people out of ??? making this suggestion makes how much difference? This site was updated only recently, I was looking forward to maybe one of my suggestions being used (at last), but NO nothing new as far as I can see here, only pages taking longer to upload.
